Heartbleed was a memory leak that eventually, after carefully calculated exploiting, can lead to a remote root.
Shellshock depends on a lot of environmental details, but is possible little more than a hard to reach shell with elevated permissions.
I guess heartbleed was actually worse. Who runs webscripts and stuff in root? That's really foolhardy. But using OpenSSL ... We usually thought it good practice!
Agree, heartbleed was a bigger problem, though I think I know why so many people panic because of this. My theory is, with heartbleed most folks thought they were unaffected, cause not many noob people run a webserver. But with shellshock they can test this on their own machine, with just 1 line of code and see the "vulnerable" message, so suddenly this is a big deal for them. So, don't panic & stay cool, unless you have some badly configured servers or have a habit of running everything on your workstation without checking. But then you got bigger problems than this ;-). -- Łukasz "Cyber Killer" Korpalski mail: cyberkiller8@gmail.com xmpp: cyber_killer@jabster.pl site: http://website.cybkil.cu.cc gpgkey: 0x72511999 @ hkp://keys.gnupg.net //When replying to my e-mail, kindly please //write your message below the quoted text.
